I've noticed more and more posts asking about locations of training schools in certain states (such as Thunder Ranch, and front sight) I figured it would be helpful to every one if we had a list with links and the state they are located in, It would cut down on duplicate posts and make finding schools in your state Much easier. I'll start.

This is a very nice thread. I'd like to learn as much of these schools. I've just received a nice deal on ebay for a 4-day course certificate at Front Sight, worth $1,600, which I got for less than $100.

Frontsight is a great school. Professional training. I also bought a cheap certificate and attended the 4 day defensive handgun course. The last day of the 4 day handgun course, I bought a membership. I just recently upgraded to a lifetime founder's membership. Whatever classes Front Sight offers now, and whatever they come up with in the future, I'll be able to attend for free. Awesome deal.

Here's one for eastern Ohio, in Jefferson County. Facility's name is S.T.A.R.T.

I have no first hand experience with them, but I do know a couple of the instructors, and they are first rate. Here is their mission statement:
